Kiehl's Beautifying BB Cream




Actively Correcting & Beautifying BB Cream


BB cream have taken the make up world by a storm lately, and every brand nowadays seems to be producing and modifying this latest break through in cosmetics..

Tinted moisturizer  happens to be an essential part of my everyday makeup, so when Kiehl's team kindly sent out a sample for me to try out I thought sure why not I've got nothing to lose..
I've been using this product for the past two months to give it enough time to test out and review, sample size could easily last me up to 6 months..

So after washing, toning and priming my skin I spread out the BB cream on my entire face with a sponge or simply with my fingers the coverage is light but can be buildable to give a bit more coverage ..
It comes in 4 different shades the one I got was Medium a bit lighter than my current tanned skin but that can easily be fixed by some loose powder or a dab of a bronzer..

With all honesty , there's a noticeable difference to my skin and I've been using it 5 days a week as a part of my work make up so I'll keep on going until the tube ends not to forget it got SPF 50 as well which is an added bonus..

Markus Lupfer at Harvey Nichols Kuwait











The folks at Harvey Nichols been stepping up their game lately, as today they brought the talented designer Markus Lupfer  to meet and greet clients..
The person behind the witty and playful embroidered sweaters, who was really excited to be visiting Kuwait for the first time..
To be honest I was pretty skeptic about his brand few years ago but when I tried out embroidery myself for Addicted line I came to appreciate the brand a lot more..



Markus designs are available in Kuwait exclusively for Harvey Nichols, and lately he went further with designing printing tops, shorts and pants.
Garments easy to incorporate into daily wear which can go dressy or just for everyday wear..
The burger sweater above happens to be one of the designers favourite pieces as he mentioned today..








The sweater with the ring is my favourite as I've have it on my Fall/Winter list..














It's probably too hot for a sweater but there's t-shirts with sequined collars, printed pants and lightweight shirts as well..






One of the newest items introduced to Markus Lupfer brand was shoes, a minimal selection of sequined kitten heels as well as as funky brogues, I really liked the one with the lace so nice...

Outfit of the Day : Marni's Polka Dots

 
 
 
 


It's been quite a while since I posted an outfit picture, but for some reason I'm not liking them at all..
So I thought I'd give myself sometime off maybe it's just a phase ..
I was wrong !
So until I get my mojo back, I might bore you with not very nice outfit pictures..
 
صارلي فترة وانا اقول بصور اخر شي لبسته، بس كلش صوري مو عاجبتني يا الزاوية عوية يا الصورة ظلمة عموما الوضع مايترقع كلش قلت يلا فترة وتعدي بس ماكو فايدة.. لما يرجعلي الالهام تحملوا الصور البايخة شوي


 
I smile whenever I remember our crazy days at Marni for H&M launch
Full details (Here)
And for some reason I posted how my friends wore it but not myself maybe because I didn't actually wear them since I had a specific look in mind which I finally achieved
 
للحين اتذكر خبتنا علي مارني في اتش اند ام
مع اني صورت رفيجتي واهيا لابسة الكولكشن جم مرة ، بس اللي خذيته ماصورته لانه مانلبس
مرات تييني حالة اني اخلي الشي ومالبسه لانه في لوك معين في بالي ولما يكتمل اللوك كله اهني يطلع من السبات الشتوي

Shopping in Oman : Boutique Muscat







 
Boutique Muscat, featuring a hand picked selection of local GCC designers..
The boutique itself is very minimal and clean, perfect to pick out a gift wether it's a handbag, a t-shirt or  a piece of accessorie..



 
Some of the labels I've managed to identify were FMM, Fyunka, Lialiaiya  & The ahli's which was shortly introduced after I left * bummer *
I wanted to spend more time but my schedule was a bit hectic so I took a very brief look around ..

Limited Edition : Archie Girls for MAC




 
The highly anticipated Archie Girls for MAC was released yesterday, I came upon this information by pure coincidence while I was passing by the shop ..
So the collection basically plays around Betty the next door blonde and Veronica the spoiled brunette..
Most of the items were sold out by the time I got there, so what's shown are the only items I've managed to purchase..


 
 
From Right to left; Daddy's Little Girl lipstick which is a pretty pink shade, Pearl Matte face powder in Flatter Me which has a golden peach colour..
I've managed to buy the last set of brushes adorned by tiny little hearts..
 



 
 
 
 
I'm not that much of  a make up person but such a sucker for pretty packaging, if only the rest of the collection was there I'd probably purchase it all the only item I'm kicking myself for missing would be The Betty Bright Lipstick since MAC happens to be my favourite brand for lipsticks..
